Last Edited message

[Deleted User 13688]

When we edit our posts, sometimes it says Last Edited blahblahblah at the end. Sometimes it's right after the 2nd time, sometimes it's not at all. What determines why and when that message is at the end of our posts and why is it necessary. I don't need to know that and neither does anyone else. Thanks.

Thomas your answer makes sense cuz I tested it and sure enuf it seems to work that way. BUT I sure wish Wolfgang that you would fix it where it wouldn't show that at all. It's unprofessional. Thank you.
And Dawn, I edit when I realize I have inserted my foot into my big mouth and I have to hurry and take it out of my mouth!! Hey girl we have got to meet up again next year eh? This time spend more time together!!

Many forums do not permit any editing of posts under any circumstance. It protects the integrity of the original poster's message, and avoids conflicts when people try to change what they have written.

Other areas of the Internet are the same-Yahoo Groups (for example) are just like email, your message is sent to to group of people subscribed to a list. There is no way to edit what you have written after you hit "send."

I think this forum is very forgiving in allowing any type of editing.

"Read what you have written before you click!"

Well I agree to an extent, but aside from the stupid statements which is very very rare these days mostly it's simply because I found a better way to word it or added sthg to my statement. I suppose it's more asthetically bothering to me than anything else. So I am allowing it to bother me more than what I need it to be. So not so much a biggee anymore.

When your post has no replies, when no one has written something after you, you can edit how many times as you wish without appearing the edition status. But when someone replies your or write something after you, your editions will be showed not to make confusion

this is a fool situation, but just imagine a topic like this:

"do you like Scorpions"

a person replies:

"yes, of course I do!"

then you change your topic to "do you hate Scorpions"?

Then... it wouldn't be fair with who has replied ehehe

Rooooooooo that is fantastic!! That makes sense cuz I tested editing a post long after I posted it but it didn't say it was edited!!!! So what Thomas said is incorrect, sorry fosdaddy!! TYVM GF!

And I have edited a message 1 second after I've post, but someone posted something on this topic almost the same time, so... the edition status has appeared!
